Frühburgunder trocken 2019 - Meyer-Näkel

The Pinot noir precoce of Meyer-Näkel from the Ahr reveals a bright color in the wine glass. If you swirl the glass, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, because it neither stands out watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. This single varietal German wine flatters the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of mulberries, plums, blueberries and blackberries. These are joined by hints of vanilla, cinnamon and dark chocolate

The Meyer-Näkel Pinot noir precoce presents itself pleasantly dry to the wine friend. This red wine is never coarse or meager, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully silky and dense. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Pinot noir precoce flatters with a velvety palate feeling without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region of the Ahr finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of plum and black currant show through.

Vinification of the Meyer-Näkel Pinot noir precoce

The balanced Pinot noir precoce from Germany is a single-varietal wine, pressed from the grape variety Pinot noir precoce. The Pinot noir precoce is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, for this German wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. The fact that the Pinot noir precoce grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate has an influence on the ripening of the grapes that cannot be denied. This is expressed among other things in particularly long and even grapes and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. The berries for this red wine from Germany are harvested exclusively by hand after the optimal ripeness has been ensured. After the hand harvest, the grapes quickly reach the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully ground. Then fermentation takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation for several months in oak barrels.

Food recommendation for the Meyer-Näkel Pinot noir precoce
